alright, ive got a 3TB HD + 120GB SSD in my computer. and I'm on my last 300GB. and i don't want to get rid of any data. my friend suggested setting up my own server. if i do, this is what i would like it to have. i need you to tell me;
1 is it possible.
2 how to do it.
3 recommendations!
what i am expecting from it:
~~I can access it from anywhere i have internet (public or private computers) so itll have to have some type of password protection.
~~Easily add more storage space to it. i want to put around 20TB of 7400RPM HDs in it so itll last me a couple years.
~~ I would like to be able to stream straight from it, so any videos, pictures, minecraft servers i have on it. (i don't want to continually upload and download data. once its on there id like to be able to just use it on the server)
~~the most people on the server will be around 5, so it really is just a place for me to store my stuff...
~~in other words id like my computer to recognize it like its just another HD in it, if that makes sense.
thats all i can think of... for the HD configuration im thinking JBOD because this is a personal economy build. (i just spent $2000 on my desktop last year, so i cant spend much on this)
once i fill those 20TB it would be nice to have a way to easily upgrade it to 50TB or something?
Ive built my own computer and understand how computers work to a degree, though i am rather new to the whole "how computers talk to each other".
id prefer it to be the best bang for my buck rather than the cheapest possible. hoping to be >$800 without HDs. and just add HDs as needed.
sorry if i did something wrong here, first time using toms.
cant wait to hear from yall!
